As we delve into biblical teachings on love, scripture reveals how this divine attribute transforms every area of life. The Bound in Love Bible Study uses the STEAMS framework—Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies—to inspire reflection, encourage action, and deepen understanding of God’s love.

Science ♡ The Science of Love

Scripture Focus: Matthew 11:29-30"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Gentleness and humility are transformative qualities that positively affect emotional and physical well-being. By reflecting on Matthew 11:29-30, we see how God’s love provides rest and healing to our souls. Practicing gentleness and humility strengthens relationships and mirrors God’s intention for love in our lives.

Technology ♡ Love in Action

Technology can amplify messages of love and unity, helping to connect and inspire communities. Colossians 3:14 reminds us that love is the ultimate bond, bringing harmony to our lives and relationships. When used positively, digital tools can spread encouragement, kindness, and unity in a world often divided.

Engineering ♡ Building Love in Communities

Scripture Focus: Psalm 93:14-15"For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will never abandon his heritage. Justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it."

Engineering reflects God’s call to create spaces of support and care. Whether designing a community garden, a free pantry, or small businesses that reflect love, acts of building love in communities showcase justice and compassion. Psalm 93:14-15 reminds us of God’s unwavering commitment to His people and inspires us to follow His example.

Arts ♡ Expressing Love through Creativity

Scripture Focus: Psalm 34:14"Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it."

Art has the power to reflect and inspire God’s love. Through creative expressions like painting, music, or poetry, we can share the message of love and encourage others to seek peace. Psalm 34:14 calls us to actively pursue goodness and creativity as ways to embody love in the world.

Mathematics ♡ Measuring the Impact of Love

Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13:13"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Love’s impact can be seen in measurable ways—tracking acts of kindness, charting positive outcomes, and reflecting on its ripple effect in communities. 1 Corinthians 13:13 highlights love as the greatest virtue, reminding us that even small actions of love can lead to significant change.

Social Studies ♡ God’s Love Through History

Scripture Focus: John 3:16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

History is filled with stories of individuals and movements inspired by God’s love. From biblical figures to modern leaders, acts of love have shaped societies and inspired transformative change.
